Branstad vetoes sales tax hike and hints at second session
Gov. Terry Branstad vetoed a proposed 1 cent sales tax increase that could have raised $274 million and signaled a possible second special session to push seven budget reforms. Democrats criticized the veto as political while Branstad pressed for all reforms, saying without them the budget remains unsolved. He warned major portions of the $3.4 billion budget may be vetoed and the budget reworked.

Branstad Vetoes 1-Cent Tax Over Budget Gap
Governor Terry Branstad rejects the proposed 1-cent sales tax increase citing unfinished budget reforms. With a $274 million revenue shortfall, options include across-the-board cuts, item vetoes, or vetoing entire bills, though political hurdles exist in the Democratic-led Legislature.
Branstad Special Session Legislation Summary
The special session ended with bills to cap property tax growth for cities and counties at inflation for 1994 and 1995, a flexible freeze not applying to schools, and local option to avoid the freeze for mental health or debt payments. The measure passed the Senate but died in the House. Other actions include saving up to $12 million and expanding private attorney pilots from one to six counties for costly areas.
